My family loves this recipe, and I love it because it is so fast and easy to make! Use 3 tomatoes if they are large, otherwise use 4. (Note: Most any pasta can be used. I prefer linguini or spaghetti.) Ingredients:
1 lb pasta, cooked |
1/2 lb frozen shrimp, peeled |
3 tomatoes, cut into chunks |
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
4 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In large frying pan, saute garlic in olive oil until tender. Add shrimp and saute a few minutes (stirring occasionally) until shrimp turns pink when done.
2. Meanwhile, cook pasta until just tender (al dente), then drain.
3. Add basil and tomatoes to shrimp mixture, cover and simmer about 5 minutes to release juices. Mix in cooked pasta and heat through, about 1 minute.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then serve with parmesan cheese.
5. NOTE Recipe calls for 1 lb. of pasta. I lower amount if sauce does not appear liquid-y as it should (it depends on juiciness of tomatoes!).
